Wickelstein Pedralta in Sant Feliu de Guíxols

Blick auf die imposante Felsskulptur

wobbly stones are a phenomenon: large boulders balance easily movable on their base. Her balance seems incomprehensible and once led to many myths and legends. For example, the wobbly stones are considered toys of the giants.

On the Costa Brava near Sant Feliu de Guíxols, you will find the supposedly largest wobbly stone in Europe: the Pedralta is a boulder made of granite with an estimated size of 3.5 m high, 4 m wide and 6 m long. He balances on a rock tower of stones that are much smaller than himself. The Pedralta fell from its substructure in 1996 and unfortunately the rocking ability was lost when it was rebuilt. Nevertheless, it is worth taking a look at the imposing rock sculpture. A little above the Pedralta there is a signposted one Mirador with great views of the sea and landscape. With good visibility, a real experience.

Take the Exit South to Sant Feliu de Guíxoles and then follow the Pedralta sign right into the mountains. You follow the ever worsening small asphalt road about 5 km uphill through the cork and holm oak forest. If you are good on foot, you can of course park the car better and hike to the destination.
